Review on πŸ§€ Premium Stainless Steel Wire Cheese Slicer and Butter Cutter Set with Serving Board - Ideal for Hard and Semi Hard Cheeses, Butter, and Sausage - Includes 5 Wires by Maya Allen

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The minimalist design of this cheese slicer is a good idea, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

I like the stainless construction, the ability to change the wire and adjust the tension to it. The minimalist stainless steel design is acceptable, although the slotted design means there are a lot of cheese crumbs under the cutting surface, some of which get stuck in the underlying hardware. If that was the only problem, that would be acceptable. However, the main problem with this design is the extreme neglect of side play in the cutting arm. While the manufacturer put C-clamps on the shaft to limit lever play, the tolerances are so tight that the free play is over 1/2 inch. The movement is not actually stopped by the clips but is limited by the cord running along the sides of the slot. This leads to unclean cuts and to premature and totally unnecessary wear on both the cutting line and the flanks of the groove. All the elements needed for a great, inexpensive build are present here, but the final assembly is very poorly done. that it makes the whole product feel cheap and worthless.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Frequency
